MU offers next round of Cow College Workshops

Southeastern Missouri cattle producers are invited to Cow College Workshops led by University of Missouri Extension specialists from livestock, agriculture business and policy and agronomy teams.

As a backbone of Missouri’s agricultural economy, the state’s beef industry is $1.6 billion, said Jason C. Morris, MU Extension agricultural business specialist. Prolonged drought conditions in some areas have depleted pasturelands and hayfields, causing fluctuations in forage quality that have left many producers scrambling for supplemental feed.

Calf prices are strong and offer opportunities for farm income. Cow College Workshops are set for Sept. 23 and 30 in West Plains: https://muext.us/CowCollegeWestPlains, and Oct. 2 and 13 at Ellington and Eminence: https://muext.us/CowCollegeReynoldsShannon
